How much does a dual fuel heating system cost?
Most dual fuel heat pumps themselves cost between $2,000 and $2,500, but this does not usually include installation.
What are hybrid heating systems?
The hybrid heating system uses a gas furnace for supplemental heat when the nights get too cold for the heat pump to supply enough warmth. As you want a heat pump with a high SEER rating for the cooling season, you also want a high energy efficiency rating for your furnace during the heating season.
Is a dual fuel heating system worth it?
So, are dual fuel heat pumps worth it? Yes, dual fuel heat pumps are worth the investment. They provide the energy-efficient benefits of an electric heat pump with the reliable heat of a gas furnace. Dual fuel heat pumps alternate between electric and gas based on the outside temperature for maximum efficiency.
Can I pair a heat pump with a gas furnace?
Combining a high-efficiency gas furnace with an electric air source heat pump will provide continuous temperature control in your home. Most gas furnaces kick on and off trying to reach the right temperature. A heat pump has a much longer run cycle, which keeps temperatures more constant in the home.
How much does a hybrid heat pump cost?
There are many sizes, brands, and configurations for hybrid heat pumps, which impacts the project cost. The national average range is between $6,000 and $12,000, with most people paying around $8,500 for a 3-ton heat pump with a 120,000 BTU gas furnace for a 2,000 sq.ft. well-insulated home.

How much does it cost to install a hybrid boiler?
If you are combining a boiler with an air source heat pump then you can expect to pay between £5,000 and £10,000, which includes installation. [source] For the installation and integration of a ground source heat pump with a hybrid system, the cost is likely to rise to between £13,000 and £20,000. [source]
Is it worth having a hybrid HVAC system?
Hybrid heat pump systems are more expensive than traditional systems but can pay for themselves in three to five years—or less, as in our case. And I was pleased to find out during a recent appraisal of our house that a hybrid heat pump system actually adds value to a home. When choosing an HVAC system,…
Who are the leading manufacturers of hybrid heating systems?
Daikin are one of the leading manufacturers of hybrid heat pump systems and have done some calculations comparing upfront costs, running costs and RHI earnings. Here’s what they found*: These figures suggest that over 15 years there is very little difference between the cost of a hybrid system and the cost of a boiler.
